ICONIC SILHOUETTE IN THE SAND

Six Land Rovers towing chain harrows took three hours to create the iconic 1km image at Red Wharf Bay on the island of Anglesey, UK

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Conceived in 1947, Land Rover broke the mould as the go-anywhere, multipurpose vehicle ‘for the farmer, the countryman and general industrial use’.

DEFENDER TODAY

Celebrate 67 years of service across the world as the Land Rover - rechristened Defender in 1990 - marks an exciting new era in the vehicle's history.

DRIVING AHEAD

Three limited edition Defenders launch in 2015. Heritage and Adventure embody Land Rover’s qualities, and Autobiography unites luxury with capability.

NEW HORIZONS

As UK production of the current Defender enters its final phase, Land Rover will use 2015 to celebrate its global automotive icon and look ahead to an all-new family of Defenders.

THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE LAND ROVER NAME

The automotive icon was given its name when Spencer Wilks, MD of The Rover Company at the time, drove his Rover 10 over the rough terrain of his estate in Islay more than 60 years ago.

FAMOUSLY ADVENTUROUS

From its earliest days, Land Rover's famous capability attracted adventurers determined to explore inaccessible places. Almost as soon as Land Rover launched, Colonel Leblanc drove his brand new 80-inch Series I Land Rover from the United Kingdom to what is now Ethiopia in 1949.

ADVENTURE

LONDON TO SINGAPORE

It was one of the longest ever overland journeys - half way around the world from London to Singapore. In 1955, six Oxford and Cambridge students, driving two Land Rovers, succeeded where earlier expeditions had been defeated by 12,000 miles of challenging terrain that included jungle, desert, swamp and mountains.

BORN FREE

The origin of Land Rover's historic association with Born Free goes back to the beginning where Land Rovers were featured in the classic 1966 wildlife film Born Free, starring the Foundation's founders, Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers. The requirement was then, as it is now, to rely on the Land Rover vehicles to reach the wildlife in the most remote of locations.

THE G4 CHALLENGE

Successor to the Camel Trophy, the Land Rover G4 Challenge was a global adventure competition that supported the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. With distinctive Tangiers Orange paintwork, Defender competed in challenging drives around the world.

The Land Rover G4 Challenge was the best experience of my life. I mean, nothing has come close to it in terms of the enormity of it. The experience was out of this world.
